Do you transmitter/receiver work on 2.4GHz? If so, then stay away from a video system that works on 2.4Ghz. I am not sure what is allowed in your country, I think 900MHz shouldn't be a problem. I think only some Spektrum sets working on 2.4GHz have problems with 900MHz.

You have several systems to chose from, here is one for just a tad over US$ 100 + shipping: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=13443

Almost everything is included, a transmitter, reciever, ntsc camera, antenna's. Only thing is that you need a wall-converter because the adapter for the receiver has European plugs. You might want to add a 3s lipo batteries  for the receiver (2000mAh or more, it doesn't need to fly so it can be heavy) and for the transmitter (~500mAh)

If you have questions, please ask. Will keep an eye on this thread.

For your project specifically, we'd need more information as to the purpose, problem, and scope of your situation.  Though the spreadsheet found in the thread here has the set-up of many successful aircraft.<div>

Here is what you would need, I cannot add to a shopping cart, so just click the links below and add the items to your card:

The video system, everything is included: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=13443
A battery for the receiver: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=6306
A battery for the transmitter (good for about half an hour of flying): http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=9275

In this system a wall adapter is included, but it has round pongs. You can not use it, you need something to convert to flat pongs that is used in the USA. Will cost you a few dollars at radio shack alike shops. If you have more to spend, you might like something like this for a real pilot experience: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=15128

You will also need something to watch video on or a device that can record while you fly. Small LCD screens from 7-9 inch can be had at electronics shops or Amazon. It will need to have a video in connection.

Good luck and keep us updated please!<br type="_moz"/>
